because forecast models absolutely do a dance every time we do a cycle on the run. if you are close to the coast, around the bay, greater opportunity for any presip most of it will stay off chore. it will be a cloudy cool, cool day. is maybe even some snow up there. there is a little bit of a change up there. it's definitely cold enough. we will keep an eye on things. this rain is very, very light. 30s on the temps. they will probably stop dropping at least here to the north bay. probably drop a little bit more if the south bay. three degrees up in tahoe. 34 ukiah. it will be a cool cold day up there. not very warm. here goes our system. it's kind of splitting and rotating right along the coast. if it did this, then we would have rain. it's doing this though. the cloud, rain forecast hardly puts any rain on us at all
